Raising the Next Generation: Building a Healthy Culture in Ministry | Episode 35

Jordan almost died in an accident, then received a call that flew him to Tulsa where he gave his life to God.
It starts with Paul sitting with Josh, Joseph, and Jordan, pastors he says are reaching the next generation at Victory. The room feels warm and practical.
